what’s 3 Orange Whips?

“3 Orange Whips Films Blog you say? Why’s it called that?” You can’t imagine how many people have asked that question. Well, it’s at least seven!

So, for those of you who are still in the dark we’ll tell you. It’s a quote from one of our favourite films ever.

It’s the classic John Landis directed The Blues Brothers starring Dan Ackroyd, John Belushi and a host of the music industry’s biggest stars (Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, James Brown and John Lee Hooker to name but a few).

Yes, this is one of the seminal films that we spent our childhoods watching on our ‘state-of the-art’ BetaMax video players in the 1980’s.

The quote itself is courtesy of the late great John Candy and takes place in the film’s final reel.
